Educational – promoting education through the medium of folk music and associated folk traditions

Social Inclusion – using folk music to help disadvantaged people become more integrated into society

The Charity’s Memorandum of Association states the ‘Objects’ as:

“To promote, maintain, improve and advance the education of the public, locally, regionally, nationally and internationally, by encouraging and fostering the understanding, knowledge, appreciation and development of folklore music and its associated artistic forms and folklore tradition.

To promote social inclusion for the public benefit by preventing people from becoming socially excluded, relieving the needs of those people who are socially excluded and assisting them to integrate into society through folklore music and related arts activities, (being excluded from society, or part of society, as a result of being a member of a socially and economically deprived community).”
